I have been in desire of a new point and shoot camera to keep in my purse for those moments that I want to capture in photo while out and about. Our other camera works great, but it is very large. I know that my cell phone would probably work, but I wanted something with a little better quality. I had one in particular that was on my Christmas list, and I had been keeping my eye on its price. It suddenly was cheaper than it was on black Friday, so Josh bought it for me for an early birthday gift. I want to make sure I had it before we left for our Mexico trip in March.
We went to purchase the camera at Wal-Mart since I had seen it on sale there the day before while picking up something quickly for work. The whole process has given me one more reason why I hate the place!
You see, we have three different Wal-Marts here in town and went to the one that we feel is the cleanest. When we arrived the camera was thirty dollars more than it was at the one I was at the previous day. Wal-Mart informed us that it does offer price matching but not with themselves! So we put our purchases back on the shelves and headed to the Wal-Mart where I saw the sale price.
When we got there, they were out of them! They called the third store in town, and they had the same price as this one and had only ONE more in stock. They put it on hold, and we drove down to the third Wal-Mart in town (more Wal-Marts than I needed in one day). When we got there, we were able to purchase the camera, finally!
As we are walking out of the store in a hurry because the babysitter was going to beat us to the house, I realized that the total of our purchases seemed very high and asked to see the receipt. Josh got it out of his wallet and sure enough they charged us the wrong price, so back to customer service we went!
We finally got it all straightened out and made it home just in time to meet the babysitter for Josh and I to head out to my staff holiday party.
On the way to my holiday party I turned to Josh and said, "This new camera is going to bring my blogging to a whole new level!"
